Below is a paid advertisement below for Ecuador beach lots in a new development planned for this beach.
Ecuador’s Pacific is what caused Merri and me to first fall in love with Ecuador, when we took our first trip up from Salinas into Manabi Province. We have been traveling Ecuador beaches for 15 years since.
We love the fact that you get the Pacific wildness… yet the water is warm and beaches empty most of the time.
As coastal roads improve and access to the beach from Quito and Guayaquil is shortened, many new developments are appearing like the one advertised below.
Paid Advertisement
We have recently started a progressive urbanization of 50 hectares, carried out by a group of Canadian investors.
The new Playa San Jose real estate development is 123 acres that runs along the Pacific Ocean, and limited at the other end by the Highway called Ruta del Spondylus (formerly Ruta del Sol). We envision that the project will be developed, gradually, over 5 years.
Here are…
photos of the land.
The project offers more than 1500 lots from 150 to square meters to 334 sq meters.
We launch the opening for the project ceremony in August 15th 2009
Special rebate until March 31st, 2010. Reserve with only 10% down and receive 15% discount from list price if paid with in 30 days. Some restrictions apply to some lots. Visit web site for more info and enter code (1967) to receive additional discounts.
• 60 month financing is available with only 25% deposit
• There is 12 km (7 miles) of virgin beach
Plans include:
• 24 hr security.
• Project realized to comply with the environment.
• Recovery of used gray waters will be used for watering plants, trees.
• Rotoplax ecological system septic tanks, transforming solids into organic compost.
• Underground electrical.
• Streets and avenues will be interlock pavers, lighted, and treed.
• Walking and cycling paths.
• Recycling and garbage services, by laws dealing with parking and motorized vehicle traffic on the entire site. Strict By-Laws dealing with cleanliness, noise, respect of the environment cleanliness of beach etc.
Guard house under construction.
The septic system and well has been completed and…
the guard house is completed
Each owner must purchase a minimum of 1 tree for each 50 square meters of land which she/he owns to ensure that we reforest the site.
The Routa del sol has only been open to this part of the coast for a few years, making it accessible to the public. This road, along with virgin beaches and panoramic views, will help Playa San Jose grow as a tourist destination.
Access is now extremely easy and the newly resurfaced Ruta Del Spondylus runs through many different landscapes and typical fishing villages.
The native habitat in this area is dry forest, which we plan to preserve but will add other species such as palm trees and fruit trees.
Recovery and recycling of waste water and domestic garbage will make us one of the first ecological urbanized sites in Ecuador.
We have divided the project in three distinctive zones and each will have a different style of architecture:
• Zone A closest to the ocean • Zone B in the center • Zone C closer to the highway and Cassa club area
Lots range from the $7,000 to $50,000 range.
For more information contact Frank Thibault at frank@sunset-investments.com
I am also offering special four week rental rates on this first rental units that is just about completed. The rental for four weeks stay is $300.00. This house Is also for sale, treed and landscaped.

But areas north of Bahia may have the greatest long term potential.
This picture at tripadvisor.com shows one reason why. Here is Bahia, Ecuador.
The full name of the city is Bahia de Caraquez. This is a town that makes living on this part of Ecuador’s coast a great place to be.
Bahía is a Pacific coastal city located on a peninsula about an hour and 15 minutes north of Manta and is bordered by the Chone River. This river creates the opportunity. The estuary has always stopped the traffic flow.
Here is a shot taken on one of our coastal real etsate tours over the Chone Estuary.
Over the last decade Bahia has become one of the country’s most attractive resort areas due to its beauty, cleanliness and access to Manta and Quito (five hours by car once the roads are completed) and Guayaquil (four hours by car) but the estuary makes it hard to get north of Bahia from Manta.
There are also two very important reasons why this area north of Bahia real estate may now rise.
First, a new highway is being built between Quito and the coast. This construction is taking much longer than it should and costing way more than budget..but eventually it will be complete and one more concrete freeway will be able to whisk from Quito to Bahia.
Second, some day there will be a bridge across the Chone. Bahia sits on an isthmus between the Pacific Ocean and the huge estuary of the Chone River. If you are traveling from the south up the coast in a northwards direction, you are stopped at the Chone. The drive onwards moves down the Chone for a couple of hours just to get back to the coast north of the estuary north. Here is a group of our real estate tour delegates looking across the Chone.
This map shows the area… Manta in the south… Perdernales on the beach and Quito to the east.
The only way to cross the Chone at this time is via ferry. There are usually two car ferries. This is the Pacific Coast Highway running from Columbia all the way down to Peru and Chile so cars, buses and trucks use them.
Big trucks are loaded, first followed by the cars. These ferries also take foot passengers and are free.
There are also passenger ferries that continually go back and forth costing about 30 cents for the trip.
However, at times it can take up to two hours to get on a car ferry.
So a bridge across the Chone would be invaluable and is in the process.
President Correa came in 2008 and promised to get the bridge built.
Here is President Correa in Bahia.
The bridge construction is quite advanced as you can see below.
Below is a paid advertisement of 16.7 acres of land for sale in this zone of opportunity on Ecuador’s Pacific between Bahia and Perdernales.
Ecuador Beach Real Estate for Sale… four hours west of Quito… 28 miles south of Perdernales… 20 miles south of Jama in the village of Tasate.
A new highway under construction will reduce driving time to Quito by an hour.
There are no services at the moment. Electricity and telephone services are at the the front of the property and are easily available. A deep well will be needed for water.
This 16.7 acres sits on…
the main highway between the cities of Pedernales and Jama. It is very close to the village of Tasaste. The main highway runs along the Coast, is asphalted and in good driving conditions. This highway is the south – west border of the property.
The property is well fenced along the highway and has a gated entrance, leading to…
interior roads that…
reach…
many areas of…

and…
the beach.
with views…
and plenty of sand.
The previous owners had planned a tourist development and provided me with a SWOT plan (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunity and Threats).
Here are excerpts from the SWOT study: The goal of this project is to provide tourism and residential services to the cities of Quito and Santo Domingo de los Colorados. The ways to access from Quito are: Aloag – Santo Domingo, Santo Domingo – El Carmen and El Carmen – Pedernales. The driving time is approximately 4 hours.
We should consider very important that the Council provincial of Pichincha and Manabi signed an agreement to finish the highway from La Concordia to Puerto Nuevo. This new highway will reduce at least one hour driving from Quito to Pedernales.
All these highways are asphalted and in good driving conditions. With this, it is demonstrated that the Pedernales beaches are the closest ones to the city of Quito because they are on the latitude 0.0.
There are few hotels within 2 miles and the highway is being widened between Pedernales and Jama.
STRENGTHS
Strategic location of the land (close to the sea) The project is located inside of the tourist zone. Easy access and highways in good driving condition. Good public transportation system with regular service. Landscape of dry forest and extraordinary view to the sea. The projected area per unit and their costs are totally accessible compared with other similar programs in other provinces. A total wearing down of the emerald tourist zone. The distance from Quito to the project is 3 to 4 hours.
OPPORTUNITIES
The zone is projected for tourist and residential uses, according to strategic Municipal plans. The project is close to the cities of Jama and Pedernales to have access to their goods and services. The project will be transformed in a development pole, using manual labour from the small town of Tasaste.
WEAKNESSES
Acoustic contamination because of the highway Jama – Pedernales.
THREATS
Constant growth of the real estate supply Presence of establishments of temporary lodging (hotels)
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The topography of the land determines 2 elevations with a regular slope, the central part of the lot is but flat and is crossed by a matting.
By the morphology the project has been divided in 2: The North part is destined for the house and 40 units will be implanted. In the South elevation the hotel zone will be located where they will be located the restaurant, 12 single rooms, 10 cabins, an area of reception, a museum, a small commercial center and all the areas of viewpoint to take advantage of the natural enchantment.
The estate is crossed by a ballast way that gives access to the beach and to the hotel zone.
In the green areas of the project we propose sport fields, gardens, 2 swimming pools: one for the residential zone and another one for the hotel zone, all this framed within the norms of respect to the ecology, remembering that the impact to the nature.
The entire 16.7 acres is offered as is.
I can send interested parties a 97 page Power Point presentation showing more of the property and the entire SWOT.
The asking price is US$285,000.

You may well wonder why I would make such an offer and ask why the cost is so low? Let me answer this question frankly and from the heart.
First, it helps us do a better job for you. We feel greatly enriched when we can really help our clients improve their lives. We have learned through years of experience the best way to do this is to meet with you regularly. We can best help you learn how to improve your health and wealth through continual expansion of knowledge.
Second, we gain enormous fulfillment from the many friendships we form through the years. Our friends have enriched our lives tremendously. Let me explain this in more detail.
As a member, you will be part of our international family that meets intensively over the next year to examine ways we can make our lives better. Our goal is beyond just having money. Our goal is to have quantum wealth… good health… wealth and fulfillment through service.
Though I give all course delegates my very best, I cannot help but to do a better job for those who come again and again. As we meet often; your particular wants, needs and desires become clear, and it is easier for me to point you in the right direction.
Another phenomenon is that repeat delegates help each other! They get to know one another, help each other learn, share their insights, make contacts and gain more wealth.
Out associates in Ecuador, are experienced business people who live or work and conduct our real estate and export courses. They can also act as your local backup for the business.
Lifestyle for Two. There is more! I have learned at my courses that many repeat delegates were couples.
We want couples! As a member of the program, you are entitled to bring another person to every single course or tour. The cost for that extra person will be ZERO! You can bring whomever you wish. Bring your spouse, a friend, son or daughter, partner, accountant, adviser. You can bring the same person each time or a different person, whomever you choose to accompany you. (Accommodations and air fares relating to the courses are not included for members, delegates or their guests.)
Won’t you join us in this exciting club and share Merri’s and my lifestyle for the next year? We look forward to seeing you at as many courses as possible and sharing this wonderful world of abundance and well being with you!
A message entitled Manta Real Estate in Ecuador looked at why Manta makes investing north of this port city a good investment.
Manta may be a great place to invest…but Bahia is a great place to be!
This picture at tripadvisor.com shows one reason why. Here is Bahia, Ecuador.
The full name of the city is Bahia de Caraquez. This is a town that makes living on this part of Ecuador’s coast a great place to be.
Wonderful Ecuador sunsets are here.
Yet as you will see below, there is much much more…here in Bahia, Ecuador.
Merri and I have for the last 25 years (since we left London) always lived in an out of the way place, two hours or so from an international airport and a half hour to a nice city.
When we moved to Naples, Florida 25 years ago it was a sleepy village…no WalMart…no Office or Home Depot etc. We were two hours from Miami International Airport and half an hour to Ft Myers. We would drive to Ft. Myers once ever two weeks or so to get supplies and then scoot back to the quiet life.
Now we are in the Blue Ridge…nothing is here but fields and forests! We drive a half hour to West Jefferson once a week to get groceries, the Farmer’s Market and if we have to go for office supplies that’s another 45 minutes. Then we zip back into the hills. Greensboro or Charlotte airports are a bit over two hours away.
Our home in Cotacachi, Ecuador is two hours from Quito International Airport and half an hour to the City of Ibarra.
So it was no surprise when I started calculating travel times from our new home in San Clemente in Manabi Province on Ecuador’s Pacific Coast.
We are 45 minutes to Manta. Add a check in and a 30 minute flight. This gobbles up two hours and gets us to Quito International Airport.
A half hour north of San Clemente is the town of Bahia de Caraquez one of Ecuador’s sleepers! It is one of Ecuador’s nicest cities that very few people know.
Bahia, first of all is clean. It became Ecuador’s first Ecocity in the late 1990s as a positive response to two disasters that hit this city of about 25,000 residents.
Two natural disasters fell upon Bahia right in a row. First, in 1997 the “El Niño” phenomenon caused torrents of rain, flooding and washed out miles of road in to and from Bahia. Then a year later in August 1998, a strong earthquake (magnitude of seven) created a huge amount of destruction,
In a kindness that evolution brings, Bahía had to completely reconstruct itself.
With Japanese help and funding, plus many wealthy Ecuadorians (one of Ecuador’s more successful presidents came from Bahia so it is well known in wealthy circles) Bahía rebuilt as an ecological area. The governing authorities made an official declaration of this fact. Since this time, the city has planned its development within the sustainable principals of an Ecocity.
Bahía is a Pacific coastal city located on a peninsula about an hour and 15 minutes north of Manta and is bordered by the Chone River.
Here is a shot taken on one of our coastal real etsate tours over the Chone Estuary.
Over the last decade Bahia has become one of the country’s most attractive resort areas due to its beauty, cleanliness and access to the major cities of Quito (five hours by car) and Guayaquil (four hours by car).
Bahia’s year round population is estimated at 25,000 with a substantial increase during the summer,
There are also two very important reasons why Bahia real estate values may now rise fast.
First, a new highway is being built between Quito and the coast. This construction is taking much longer than it should and costing way more than budget..but eventually it will be complete and one more concrete freeway will be able to whisk from Quito to Bahia.
Second, some day there will be a bridge across the Chone. Bahia sits on an isthmus between the Pacific Ocean and the huge estuary of the Chone River. If you are traveling from the south up the coast in a northwards direction, you are stopped at the Chone. The drive onwards moves down the Chone for a couple of hours just to get back to the coast north of the estuary north. Here is a group of our real estate tour delegates looking across the Chone.
This map shows it all.

There are also passenger ferries that continually go back and forth costing about 30 cents for the trip.
However, at times it can take up to two hours to get on a car ferry.
So a bridge across the Chone would be invaluable and is in the process.
